Cyclamen can flower from autumn through winter and spring. They are idea for planting under decideous trees and shrubs, in lawns or in containers.

They have been a feature of gardens and the countryside for generations. John Gerard, in his 'Gerard's Herball' (1597), writes "It is reported unto mee by men of good credit, that Cyclamen or Sow-bread groweth upon the mountaines of Wales; on the hils of Lincolnshire, and in Somerset shire. Being beaten and made up into trochisches, or little flat cakes, it is reported to be a good amorous medicine to make one in love, if it be inwardly taken." 

We do not recommend this!
